We’ll cover some Drupal News, it looks like Bob has the Pro Project Pick this episode and Ryan will bring it to a close with The Final Bell.

Drupal News:

A plan for Drupal and Composer https://dri.es/a-plan-for-drupal-and-composer
“The first phase of the proposal is focused on a series of changes in the main Drupal core repository. The directory structure will remain the same, but it will include scripts, plugins, and embedded packages that enable the bundled Drupal product to be built from the core repository using Composer. This provides users who download Drupal from Drupal.org a clear path to manage their Drupal codebase with Composer if they choose.”

“Automatic Updates Initiative. We are exploring if an automated update system can be build on top of the Composer Initiative's work, and provide an abstraction layer for those that don't want to use Composer directly. I believe that could be truly game-changing for Drupal, as it would remove a great deal of complexity.”
